Chántel's POV
"Mama! You can't do this to me! You can't..." I cried out. Ever since my mother had told me the news, my heart had been broken. I wanted to escape back to San Fransokyo, back to Tadashi.
Before I had left to study at San Fransokyo High School, I had had a crush on a boy in the 8th grade. When he discovered this, he liked me back. I didn't know, but while I was over at a friend's house, he had come to mine to chat with my parents. By then, I had lost interest in him and pulled my full attention to studying the stars. He asked my parents for permission to date me. They said yes.
When he asked me out, I declined. He was furious. Behind my back, he and my parents had been talking. When I left the middle school and moved to San Fransokyo for high school, they planned an arranged marriage. That's why they wanted me to move back to Texas A&M. Just so they could break the news to me.
~one year earlier~
My parents wanted this wedding to be perfect. It was to take place in a few months. I had hidden two packed bags in my closet. No one knew about my plans. I was leaving Texas. Maybe forever.
First I would head to New York. Then Orlando, Florida; then Washington, DC; then Florence, Kentucky; then San Fransokyo. All these places just to get to one person: Tadashi.

That night, I stole several thousand dollars from my parents' account. I drove to the airport, where I abandoned my car. I bought one way plane tickets to New York. When I arrived, I got a job as a barista. I stayed for a few months then I bought a one way ticket to Orlando. After doing the same there, I went to Washington, DC. I spent the same amount of time there, but rather than becoming a barista, I began a career in art. The president even hung one of my portraits in the White House! Finally I flew to Florence. I couldn't stay long, though. I had heard on the news that my parents were looking for me. I had to leave. That's when I arrived in San Fransokyo.
And I was ready to see another Ninjas/Rangers game with Tadashi.
